Description
The Church’s One Foundation
Author: S. J. Stone (1866)
Tune: AURELIA
The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word.
From heav’n He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.
Built upon your promises
Built upon your saving grace
Standing up with confidence
Lord let us be your dewlling place
Elect from ev’ry nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses
With ev’ry grace endued.
Built upon your promises
Built upon your saving grace
Standing up with confidence
Lord let us be your dewlling place
Though with a scornful wonder
The world sees her oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping;
Their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
Built upon your promises
Built upon your saving grace
Standing up with confidence
Lord let us be your dewlling place
Built upon your promises
Built upon your saving grace
Standing up with confidence
Lord let us be your dewlling place
The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word.
From heav’n He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.
